午後3時過ぎJessとOnline talk。時間が遅くなり子供たちはもうおねんねだった。明日からフランス、Normadyを見ること、Oliの算数問題、私からはdesmoidや誕生会、Mariのsleeping disorderの改善、French professor friend、🌻・トマトのことなど。言いたくないけど嫌なTrumpのことなど。30分かけて私のペンパルMs Jan Scaceの家を訪ねてくれたお礼（この、記憶力・注意深さに感銘）。信じられないほど人に頼まれたことを大切に守る人だ、有難い。（投稿記事: Old penpal Janの家 in L.A.）
Nov 13 Jessica : Today, I went to the address you gave me for your pen friend Ms. Jan Scace. There was an apartment building there. I talked with its owner, and learnt he bought the lot from a builder who had built this new building in 1988.
11/25 mail to Dr Oga: 「今日も良い天気ですね。昨日は娘と早稲田孫が来ましたので近所の龍華寺まで車椅子で連れて行ってもらい、大きな厚物（観賞用の大きいもの）の菊を鑑賞しました。とても良い日でした。 その前の日はイタリア人一家4人が来て、75歳ぐらいのシチリア島出身、ミラノ工科大卒元エンジニアの＊＊のパパが、1年前に妻を亡くした話の5分後には、陽気にカンツォーネを大きい声で楽しく歌うのにはびっくりし、なんだか楽しくて笑いが止まりませんでした。」
11/26 10:54 Sarah he is leaving next weekend so I don’t think we can make it again this time. But I hope he will be visiting more often next year 😀 10:54 Sarah also my parents in law should come by in Spring！！

Sloan氏、JohnとのZoom, Jessの近況報告（将来LAからSFへ移動するとき、In&OutというところでJunk food食べようね！とか）K子先生の英検テストと新しい曲の紹介・・・。みんな楽しくて、昨日のたどたどしい歩行が改善した。気の持ちようが意外に大きいのだ。(Once in a while, why not… we stop by In&Out burgers when we are driving between LA and SF. Jess Oct 2nd)
(Mail to Sachiko-san) 私の昨日の行動の目標としては、みんなの前で歩行を披露することがあったのですが、緊張して調子が今一歩だったのと、サロンの雰囲気にそぐわない気がして止めました。次はKayaさんのダンスがあるときに、歌はみんなで「道」を歌うだけの会でやりたいなと思っています。折角Sachikoさんがいらしてるので、ロシアのことやウクライナのこととか、お話を聞いたりしたかった！です。
★10/21_22 体が硬い！か？
腫瘤診察前は快調だった歩行が10/19ごろからギクシャクしだして、スムーズに足が出なくなり、そうすると左腕も硬直し歩行も乱れて悪循環。PT Ms Watも「体が硬い！」とnegativeに言う。自分で解決策をと思い、意を決して朝からトイレに杖で行くことにした。今日のOT リハでは「歩行もやりたいです」とお願いしてYukikoさんと歩いた。「あら、前より上手になったみたい・・」と言ってもらえて安心した。気のせいにしては誤るけど、ほとんど気のせいだ！（あとは気温。昨日は寒く今日はぽかぽか・・）Jessica達の向日葵がしっかり開いてうれしい。ピンクのコスモスもかわいらしく咲きだした。
10/29 大雨で難儀したが大成功の「Tully’s lunch] with Ghimire夫妻。去年の9月以来かもしれない。「城ヶ島」研究(三浦半島城ヶ島/車椅子ガイド)の成果は次の機会に！先生のご自宅の階段は「持ち上げてあげる」と言ってくれたやさしいお心に本当に感謝。大切な大切な友達だ。これからはKenも入れてRegular Eventだ！
Konbanwa We also had a wonderful time. We should make it a regular event. Thank you for the photos; they look very nice. Enjoyed meeting with your son Ken san too. ★Kenも早速「次も早めに」と楽しそう。
Hvorostovsky – Deh vieni alla finestra (Mozart: Don Giovanni
190519_손태진ソン・テジン –
Deh vieni alla finestra, o mio tesoro, deh vieni a consolar il pianto mio. Se neghi a me di dar qualche ristoro, davanti agli occhi tuoi morir vogl'io! Tu ch'hai la bocca dolce più del miele, tu che il zucchero porti in mezzo il core! Non esser, gioia mia, con me crudele! Lasciati almen veder, mio bell'amore!

第1回スリッパ投げ選手権！それは実際にはスポーツではありませんが、フェヌアでは、それはほとんど文化的なものです…なぜなら、伝説によると、最初のサバットモデルはレアオ島で生まれ、そこから地元の人々の評判「アムサバット」が生まれたからです。Tahiti is the largest island in French Polynesia, the South Pacific archipelago. Shaped like a figure-8, it’s divided into Tahiti Nui (the larger, western section) and Tahiti Iti (the eastern peninsula).
Oliviaにun duex trois quantre….を教えてもらった。This is my treasure!
Un deux trois quatre cinq. by Olivia
★7/18 英語だらけの日々。Busy with Jessica. She is struggring with two energetic kids. I arranged Kyoko-sensei dispatching to Kitakamakura tomorrow. 私の歩行は、と言えば忙しさに紛れて「歩くのが普通」のようになってきた。7/16の歯科医受診もだれも特別扱いしてくれないし。。。いいことだ。
Olivia仕込みのun deux trios in Frenchの発音もほめてもらった（嬉)
私の un duex trois quatre…20240718
I practiced un deux trois by Olivia. You have an amazing ability to pronounce well!!! It must be from voice training, maybe. Thank you 😊😀 4 quatre is extremely well articulated the way you said it. It can be made easier on the mouth (less effort) saying “Cat” and still quite correct.
in clearing the weeds, we found some pots. we got a bag of soil and will try to plant tomatoes and cucumbers to see if they germinate(発芽する). we can bring them to you if they do well, or donate them to the temple monks or neighbors before we leave.
Cleaned the porch thank you!aroeの周りをそうじここも雑草取りこれを植えてくれるとかこもれびランチ7/19
So important to push oneself and regain as much mobility as possible.I was impressed to see you walk and look forward to the next opportunity for the girls to encourage your efforts.
Each visit has been a special time for the girls. Thank you so much! You made us feel like family, Julia woke up at 6am abd was able to have a nap after lunch. We did not do anything special but had a good day. We recently cleared the incasive ivvy out of the aloe plant area, and the dead branches and weeds in the area in front of the kitchen. It looks very nice! Would it be ok if we planted some shade area flower seeds?
🌺July 22 New Acquintance?? I will transmit to Richard 🙂 We worked together at Michelin in Manchester for almost 2 years and he was one of my best friends there. He is gifted with languages and a champion of the chess game, which he graciously taught me on our time off. We have remained friends ever since.

★7/23MTG with ITOさん 10/5-7でこもれびショートステイを申し込むことにした。今後のためいろんな選択肢をためて賢く生きるのが大切だ。i have been doing well these days, but i also know i need to think about my longtime future with Nob. Today’s new decision is I will take a “short stay plan” for 2 nights in October at Komorebi. we think in the future if something happen to Nob, we do not want to rely too much on Ken and Kumi and want to servive within us. Using a short stay program is one of the solutions we have. To be ohonest, i don’t like to stay or go to nursery, but its good to live wisely! (Jess )I think you are very wise to think of these things now and plan ahead. 大事なことはJessと話をしているこのごろ！！
今日からオリンピック：“If the sky should fall into the sea, and the stars fade all around me …” so begins France’s most famous song abot love: “L’hymne à l’amour.”
The moment you do that, only one thing is guaranteed: it’s going to rain. And so it duly came to pass as these Games were inaugurated with a ceremony that was, as they always are, fun, silly, overly long, overly sombre. But also nice, warm, necessary, and in this case thrillingly hostage to its own hubris.So much so that, as the rain continued to fall, there was a sense of the spectacle reasserting itself, becoming oddly heroic, a defiance of nature, at the very least extremely funny. Although, given the theme of the ceremony was by this stage no longer Paris is splendid and cool, but this is an excellent cosmic joke, t needs more from the catalogue to get the real depth of it.
◆★夢はカリフォルニア?! Jul 29 Jess : I wonder if you might want to come enjoy time with us sometime soon. I have time since I have not resumed work here yet and I am certain we can find physical therapy during your stay. Our LA home is uncluttered and easy to navigate.
Me (I finished 1hour rehabilitation) Your idea surprised me. I’ve never imagined going abroad since my sudden illness though i know there are many people travel abroad in wheelchair.
7/30 Jess (医学/治療用語) : I was fortunate the first time to be followed by a sports medicine doctor and feel like I recovered very well. It was with San Francisco General Hospital, as I was a SF resident then. The second time with Kaiser was not as thorough. I felt like they were less invested. We must not give up and give pur best effort for recovery and steady improvement. ★your stroke is way more serious than a few broken bones. Through the first PT doctor, I learnt a lot. His name was Joel, and he helped me do focused knee exercise to build sufficient muscle to support a damaged structure. I had hurt my knee repetitively (patula sub-luxation膝蓋骨亜脱臼) Thanks to him, I regained sufficient strength to resume running, skiing and more.
Jul 30 Jess : It is so important to do regular exercise with a professional, and encouraging to observe progress. I recall my PT sessions on my wrists. I broke both! one in 2009 in a motorcycle accident (someone went past their stop sign, and I layed the bike down), and the in 2019, in a ski accident. I was pulling Olivia on a trailer attached to my waist while skiing, I did not manage the extra weight so well while making a stop… That time, I could not complete physical therapy fully because Oli got very sick. Generally, both function well but when I play taiko, I realize I lost flexibility.
あちらから「遊びに行きたい」と来るとこちらからも「行っていい？」と。その人たちに会いたい人がまた押し寄せる!? 忙しい日々だ。 Ms Matsueの「友達に会うのもリハビリ」と思って楽しもうと思った。毎週来てくれるヘルパーさんにも「ここに来ると楽しい」と言ってもらって，目からウロコ。介護の人にも楽しんでもらえていることは望外の喜び・安心だった。8/11Jess family’s last visit
They are going back to America. I had good time with them throughout this summer, very lucky, enjoyable and learnt a lot from Jess and Chris. I am really greatful for their visits.
8/18歩行訓練も距離が出ずすぐ疲れるので一歩前進ちょっと後退かもしれないが、左脚に重心をかけてまっ直ぐに歩けるようになっている気がする。そんなに欲張らず少しずつ、決してあきらめないで行くだけだ。8/19 Good Advices from Ms Wat. 8/16 komorebiピアノに時間制限がついた。5－10分と。

9/5 身体は全体的にぎこちない。でも今日は眼科受診の日だ。質問は眼鏡と目薬。9/13のこもれびカラオケの準備 I left my heart in S.F. ９/５,２回目の歩行では「ぎこちなさ」なし。心ゆったりと「私83歳までここにいたいので85歳まで頑張ってくれる？」と気分よく訊いたら「いいよ」と言ってくれたし。本当に精神的なことが大きい。こんなにも気分のいい家はないのだから・・・。9/6 腰の腫れはそのままだけど気にしないで楽しくやっている。今日は久美の誕生日。なんと愛子ちゃんからお祝いメッセージが届いてびっくり、頭も大丈夫なようだ。一志と金山の思い出など交換。
